Abstract
The work is aimed to the development of approaches to intelligent support of knowledge usage and generation process performed within simulation-based research. As contemporary e-Science tasks often require acquisition, integration and usage of complex knowledge belonging to different domains, the concept and technology for semantic integration and processing of knowledge used within complex systems simulation tasks were developed. Within proposed approach three main classes of knowledge considered are considered: domain-specific, IT, and general system-level knowledge. All these classes are needed to be integrated and coordinated to support the simulation process. Ontology-based technology is described as a core technique for unified multi-domain knowledge formalization and automatic or semi-automatic interconnection. Virtual Simulation Objects (VSO) concept and technology are described as a basic approach for development of domain-specific solutions to support of the whole simulation-based research process including model development, simulation running and results presentation.
